Shodan is complaining that “Dopers are trying to bait HurricaneDitka into getting warnings”. And he obliquely references this thread: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21657123#post21657123](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21657123#post21657123) I guess he thinks actually engaging HD is “baiting” him? Or maybe not engaging him? I’m not sure. Whatever it is, stop it! Stop baiting HD, you evil Dopers! 😉 ---

He’s even asked probing questions in ATMB, just to make sure he got all the nuances right. He’s pretty much a certified Class “A” Expert Troll now, highly accomplished at producing maximum annoyance without actually breaking any rules, often leaving others with a trail of warnings which is the real hallmark of Class “A” trolling. It’s always a disappointment when a Class A troll blunders, kind of like a Formula 1 race driver going off the track and ramming the barricade. Life on the edge is fraught with risk. ---

I challenged **Shodan** ’s baiting accusation, and he hides behind bullshit (says that he can’t respond in the ATMB even though he brought up the accusations in the first place in the same ATMB thread) but the Mods told us to take it outside, so here we are in the Pit and I’ll ask again if **Shodan** would care to try and back up his accusations. ---
